Gardasil side effects

I am 14 and i had my first shit in march 2009..after words i began feeling weak.I was getting sick a lot mainly colds and stuffy noses...Now i have been experiencing hair loss which really frustrated me because i love my hair..now i dont know what to do to get it back..

My daughter had the Gardasil vaccine over two years ago. Pneumonia, migraines, hair loss, menstrual changes, dehydration, etc. etc. you name it ... it's very scary. I learned lots after joining a chat group on yahoo ... let's talk about Gardasil ... there is lots of information on diet, detox, doctors, etc. that might be helpful to you. Please join to see if we can help. We are all in this together and together we are hoping to stop this horrible vaccine.

I am so grateful to have found this site and to everyone who has posted. My 20-yr-old daughter received her first dose in Feb. 09. About a week later she began feeling extremely fatigued and weak. She was diagnosed with mono even though the mono test came back negative. She recovered from the fatigue and weakness prior to the 2nd shot in late April/early May. Soon after that she began complaining of hair loss. She was diagnosed with alopecia areata and our doctor put her on a different oral birth control pill. Her hair loss has continued, she has a fairly large bald spot on the back of her head just below the crown and her hair is very thin all over, especially just above her forehead. She will NOT be having the 3rd shot. She is starting to get some regrowth just above her forehead, regrowth on the bald spot on the back of her head is much slower. The hardest part is not knowing if or when her hair will regrow. I had not considered Gardisil as a potential cause for this until after I watched the ABC News story on Aug. 18, 09. I hope that all of you girls and young women will fully recover from your symptoms, and thanks to all who have posted here. Sincerely, B. C, Tualatin, OR

My 9 year old daughter got her first shot in Dec. 2008 and her second in Feb. and the last in June. We have have been to the doctor a lot of times due to headaches with the doctor's opinion being that it's "allergies". She is now on allergy shots with still no relief from the headaches. I listened to her pediatrician and got her the shots. I feel so bad now after reading all the problems others are having with this vaccine. She also has had a change in her attitude aggression,moodiness,cries often, and she says she's depressed. If anybody has any suggestions for us please let me know. I love my little girl and know I'm worried.

My 17 year old daughter received her second vaccination on Mar 10 2009. Four days later she began having headaches and fatigue.Within 2 weeks she was having non-epileptic seizures,tremors,numbness and pain in all her extremities.She has been hospitalized twice with still no answers.She was a healthy energetic cheerleader before Gardasil now she can barely get out of the bed.Her hair is falling out in clumps and she has lost 40 lbs.This has been a nightmare.I was just trying to protect my daughter.Her senior year is now spent hospital home bound.

Warning: I do not know if this is related at all (or if there is anyway to know for sure). I accidentally saw a connection looking up conspiracy theories, and I can't seem to find any "real" information about it at all.

My daughter at 14 years of age had this shot. She didn't feel good after, but I thought "normal" vaccination reaction and haven't thought about it since. Feeling a bit faint, a fever, and such.

However, last September (a few months later) she was diagnosed with autoimmune hemolytic anemia. It started with her heart racing, she looked pale (and sometimes even yellowish), tired all the time, her urine turned a dark color, and fainting. Not knowing anything about this I assumed that she was dehydrated, and had her drink lots of water. Until she started fainting, at which time I took her straight to our family doctor. (Another reason that I wasn't to worried is she actually had been to many doctors who didn't seem to think this was abnormal.)

She started on high doses of prednisone to keep her immune system depressed, and has now moved on to mercaptopurine (as the steroids made her suicidal.)

I plan on bringing this "possible" connection up to her hematologist and I will report back (she has an appointment on the 11th.). However, I think it is better to do a little scare here, and possibly help someone rather than take for granted that I am not sure... (So take this information with a grain of salt.)

Also note that this was sudden onset, they can find no cause, and we have no family history nor any of the other typical reasons (sometimes can be "medicine" induced.) 10 months later she is still testing positive on her combs test though.

I received my 1st gardasil 2 weeks ago. Right after receiving it, i felt very dizzy. I layed in the hospital for 30 minutes before i felt any better. The next day my right elbow started hurting, a couple days later my left elbow. My chest started hurting and it felt very heavy to breathe. My heart beats very rapid at times and makes me feel light headed. My arms feel tingly/numb at times, so i called my doctor yesterday to report this, she said these symptoms had nothing to do with gardasil and i needed to see my primary care physician. I would not advise anyone to get this shot. I will not go back to receive the other 2 shots.

Oh yeah! I forgot to mention the dizzy spells! I don't know if this is Gardasil-related or not, but during the time I was losing weight I had been so dizzy that I had to grab onto a railing to keep from falling down from standing still and have found it impossible to walk in a straight line during these times of dizziness!

I had the shot 5 times because I didn't finish the first series. Since then, I've lost 20 lbs and may have to have thyroid replacement treatment for the rest of my life! I owe it to PrisonPlanet.tv and PrisonPlanet.com for helping me realize that Gardasil may be the cause of this condition. Visit these sites for more information...

My 14 year old daughter received her fist Gardasil shot in Sept/Oct 08. Soon after she started losing her hair and thinning. Now it is coming out in handfuls. She is so upset and I believe that she is becoming depressed due to the emotional heartache. She has not received any more shots. Anyone who reads this don't give this to your daughter.!

My daughter had the Gardasil shots last year. The school nurse talked to these young girls and told them all the dangers of cancer. It is a scare tactic. Doctors tell you to get the shots as well...makes their offices LOTS of money...the insurance companies presently pay for the shots, and the are very expensive. My daughter passed out w/ the first shot. Never has passed out before. (Do not allow your daughter to drive herself to get this shot...for the adult women..have someone drive you if you choose to have this vaccination, although I would strongly recommend NOT.) My daughter, since she was vaccinated with Gardasil, has had multiple ear infections, warts, strep multiple times, flu-like symptoms multiple times...pretty much the immune system took a nose dive. She never missed school before...was exempt from school exams many times because she was never sick. However, after Gardasil, she has missed many days due to all the sicknesses she has experienced. It has been approx. a year and she hasn't been as sick lately. I am hoping the immune system will get back to what it was before the shots but I strongly recommend NOT getting this vaccination. If my daughter gets worse, I am tempted to contact a lawyer. We might should get a count on the women that have been negatively affected by this and go to D.C. This vaccine should have been researched more. Our daughters should NOT be guinea pigs!!

My daughter has this vaccine and was severely ill. Migraines, hair falling out, pneumonia, dehydration, you name it ... She was super healthy before this vaccine. You need to detox to feel better. Western medicine cannot help much - unless they understand the eastern side of medicine as well - trust me - I'm in a yahoo group Lets Talk About Gardasil.

You need to go gluten-free/sugar-free/casein(dairy)-free, drink bottled or distilled water and introduce extra vitamins. (B12, D3, magnesium, folic acid, and a liver boost, which you can find at a vitamin shop). There is lots of information at the yahoo group - so please join so you can get healthy. Gardasil is a GMO (genetically made) which has problems all its own - but you need to get the metals out of your body which are in this vaccine and in many foods you eat - start reading labels! No high fructose corn syrup and lots of rest. Please check out the chat group - and please file a VAERS report - that is URGENTLY needed to get this vaccine off the market.

I am 14 years old, and have had all three Gardasil shots. Now, this may not be much in comparison to what some of you are going through, and im very sorry for you. however, it seems that a very common side effect of Gardasil is a sore arm. I had my first two shots already, and i recently received my third. as the nurse was administering the shot, i heard the words "oops" escape her lips. Needless to say, this worried me. I was also getting another shot that day, so my sore arm on the day of did not worry me. However, in the days after the shot, slowly the bump from the *other* shot went down, as the one from the Gardasil remained. It is as sore as can possibly be, and has recently become quite itchy. I do not want these other side effects to occur, especially since i am going away to camp very soon. Should i be terribly worried?
please respond to this comment or email at ****** (no space... an htm just isn't allowed.)

I'm 25 years old and approx 5 weeks after my second Gardasil injection started feeling sick. It has been 6 months now and still no relief. I have been to the doctor 13 times in the past 6 months, before this vaccine that was how much I was there in 13 years. This experience has been a nightmare and everyday I wake up wishing it was. I have had numerous blood tests, a CT scan, an esophagram, seen multiple doctors and it is so frustrating having them not believe you. I used to be happy, healthy and a social butterfly. Went on a job interview today and felt like I was out-of-body not really knowing what was going on. It is absolutely horrible to know that no one can help and be completely unsure of how long this will last. I just graduated from college and I'm supposed to be starting my life and now it's not knowing if this nightmare will ever end. I have had dizzy spells, chronic sore throat, unbelievable headaches with no relief from any OTC drugs or prescription migraine meds, extreme fatigue, hot flashes, night sweats, dry/itchy/watery eyes, ear pain, side pain, jaw pain. I pray for everyone who is going through this nightmare. ALL I want is to be healthy, feeling like my old self. I would give up everything to just be healthy again, pre-Gardasil.

my daughter received her first shot in August of 08. Within 2 weeks she had a terrible bout of thyroiditis which translates into hypothyroidism;very tired and fatigued. A few months after that severe dizzy spells, racing heart and seeing stars in the middle of the night. Then migraine like headaches. Now chronic nausea and tingling and pain in her chest, shoulder and arm. Recently diagnosed with Parsonage-Turner syndrome which produces neurological impairment from "viral infection". The impairment is supposed to improve over time. She has had a hellish year. How is it that a 19 y0 girl who was healthy and a runner has turned into what doctors now think is a hypochondriac?

My 14 year old daughter who had the gardasil shot approximately 2 weeks ago, just came down with a urinary tract infection, yeast infection and sore throat. I took her to the doctor for this on Friday. She was sick all weekend with fever, throwing up. Today, (5/25/09), I looked down her throat, and her throat looked like the top of a snow mountain. I was certain she now had strep throat. I look her to urgent care. The doctor took a throat culture, and it came out negative for strep but positive for MONO. What the heck!~ Is this related to the Gardasil shot! If so, do I want to put my daughter threw the next shots. I have never seen my daughter so sick in 14 years. Please advise to your opinion.

My 16 year old daughter has been injured by Gardasil. She was a
healthy, active teenage girl before Gardasil was pushed on us at a
routine doctor visit. After receiving 2 of the 3 shots, my daughter has
experienced severe overall weakness, numbness/tingling in both legs and
left arm, chest pains, racing heart, pressure in head, vision problems,
back pain, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, weight loss, dizziness, just
to name a few. She has been in the ER twice, once by ambulance for
stopping breathing 3 times. She's seen several doctors. She's had a CT
scan done. All tests come back normal (which is typical with all of the
injured 'gardasil girls'). Her blood panel showed high on
immunoglobulin E (131H) and Anti-streptolysin O (208H) which the doctor
'thought' was Rheumatic Fever. Another doctor has said he did not
believe she had Rheumatic Fever.

My 12 year old daughter had the shot on Friday, with 4 other immunizations due to our pediatricians recommendation. Within 24 hours, she had severe head pain and vomiting and then falling asleep immediately. She woke up the next morning and was fine, then within 2 hours the same exact thing. After sleeping again for a few hours she got up and was fine until later in the evening when she felt nauseas and tired again. I took her to school this morning and within a few hours, the nurse called she has a headache and pain at the injection site. I'm taking her back to the doctor this afternoon to be evaluated. They said this is not normal but they don't think it's due to this vaccine. She was perfectly fine all last week and Friday when I took her in to get the shot. I'm hoping they are correct and she just has some flubug, but after reading these posts, I'm very worried.

I got my last shot not long ago, and haven't really had any bad experience from it yet. But two days ago the same arm in about the same area started hurting like deep muscle pain... i am going away from my clinic tomorrow...I am kind of freaked out after reading all these posts... kind of wish i didn't get it.

Daughter received last injection in 2007. In 2008 had severe abdominal symptoms and dx'd with acid reflux and prescribed Prevacid. Has tried to wean off it but debilitating symptoms persist. Endoscopy and stomach bx do not show H.Pylori. Cause unknown.
Now experiencing tinnitus and 50% hearing loss. Vey fast onset,sudden and unexpected. With current auto-immune disorders related to Gardasil am wondering if anyone else is experiencing ringing in the ears and hearing loss. She certainly had the stomach symptoms many pts experienced. I wonder if this drug is causing these young girls own bodies to attack otherwise healthy cells. I did not want my daughter to get the shot but her doctor and college were promoting it and she was over 18.

My 15-year-old daughter experienced alopecia (bald patches) after the first injection. We didn't initially connect it to the vaccine. Then, after the second shot, her thick long hair thinned significantly. She will NOT be getting the third injection Gardasil is poison. Anyone else who has experienced hair loss, please post a comment with information on how long it took to come back. She cries daily about this and it breaks my heart.

16 yr old daughter was given 1st injection in June 2008, her arm ached for several days thereafter. We never took her for her second injection since the various side effects were mentioned on the news shortly after the first injection. Daughters medical history was unremarkable prior to the Gardasil injection. Within a few weeks of the injection my daughter was at a concert with friends when she became dizzy, lightheaded, nauseated, having chest pains with a squeezing sensation, heart racing so fast she said she thought it was going to jump out of her chest. In November 2008 the same symptoms appeared again and my daughter passed out at the local Mall. Now, last week April 16, 2009 my daughter was at home when these same symptoms presented and wife rushed her to hospital. She was having SVT's (Supra Ventricular Tachycardia) with a heart rate of 283!. The ER staff quickly went into action and attempted to Cardiovert her (Shock Her Heart) into a normal sinus rhythm. After three unsuccessful attempts they finally was able to bring her heart rate down to a manageable level (150 beats per minute) by the use of the drug Lopressor. She is now home and doing fine but is on the cardiac drug, Toprol XL to keep her heart rate down to the high 80's and low 90's. We are to see a Pediatric Cardiologist on April 29, 2009.

Hi. I have just recently been diagnosed w/ pityriasis rosea. I have also received the gardasil shots. Maybe this is a side effect of the shot that has not been published yet. I have got 2 out of the 3 shots. Now i feel very weary about getting the third. Don't know what to do, or if I am being paranoid.

I can't believe that after months of searching for an answer to my daughter's health problems I may have found it! My daughter was a healthy, active happy child until recently. She is 17 and started experiencing joint, bone and muscle pain and swelling, unexplained rashes, migraines, tingling in her hands and feet and was diagnosed with neurocardiogenic synchrony (heart rate and bp out of synch) shortly after her first shot (she was 14).

We have been to a rheumatologist for the joint pains, they did blood work and there is a marker for some sort of auto immune disorder, but nothing specific.

I never connected the dots to the shots. In January of this year she started having severe diarrhea, stomach and intestinal pains. She has no energy, the most basic activities wear her out. We ended up at a gastroenterologist looking for a diagnosis (they thought it was Crohn's or lupus). All the tests have come back negative, they said she had gastritis and blew us off. She is on medicine for the intestinal pain, a prescription for an antacid for gastritis and an anti-inflammatory for the joint and bone pain.

She was a straight "A" student up to January and has had to finish her junior year at home. It has been a very stressful experience for all of us.

I want to share information with everyone regarding the filing of Vaccine Injury Compensation (VIC) claims. I realize that many of you have probably already initiated action, but, if not, you may want to consider doing so.
I have posted a couple of times before regarding my daughter's reaction to Gardasil. Here's a brief summary: At age 19, she had 2 shots (Sep & Oct 2007). For 9 weeks in late 2007, she suffered severe GI problems, along with many other incapacitating symptoms, but no seizures. She recovered from the constant GI problems but has continued to experience occasional flare-ups. (Prior to the shots, she had NO history of such problems.) She also began to experience debilitating problems during menstruation, and in Oct 2008 her annual pap test showed precancerous cells, as did a follow-up pap test in Feb 2009. (In Sep 2007, she had a normal pap test.) Her next GYN appt is in May.
In light of her continuing problems and the alarming information in the Jun 2008 Judicial Watch Report regarding (1) the 44.6% increased chance of developing precancerous lesions if certain (undetectable) conditions existed prior to vaccination; (2) the fact that Merck does not know if the Gardasil vaccines are carcinogenic; (3) the fact that it is unknown if Gardasil will have long-term effects on fertility; (4) the fact that the final report on Gardasil's safety is not due until late 2009; and (5) etc., etc., etc., we have decided to file a VIC claim. She is still on our insurance bc she is 20 and a full-time college student, however, her future insurability once she becomes independent is a concern.
Information on filing claims is at www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation. I called the Clerk of US Court of Federal Claims at 202-357-6400 and within minutes he e-mailed me a list of attorneys who specialize in VIC claims. I called a nearby attorney, and he returned my call in less than a day and provided very helpful information. Generally speaking, claims must be filed within 3 years after the first symptom of vaccine injury and injury must last more than 6 months, or claims must be filed within 2 years of vaccine-related deaths. (This is not intended to serve as governing guideline; please refer to the website for complete information.) So, in my daughter's case, the 3 years will be up in Oct 2010. The attorney advised that we need to get started now to collect all the medical records and allow at least 6-8 months for review and processing (after medical records are obtained). The up-front cost is minimal ($250 to file, but assistance is available in cases of financial hardship, some doctors/hospitals may charge for records reproduction, but that's about it, as it was explained to me.)
I know that many of you are still trying to get your daughters through their Gardasil ordeals and may not have a lot of time to devote to this, but I wanted to alert you to the time limitations. Unfortunately, none of us know what complications our daughters will experience in the future from Gardasil, so it's something we should all consider.
Good luck to everyone. I pray daily for the thousands of girls who have been injured by Gardasil.

My daughter suffered severe side effects from the Gardasil vaccine - pneumonia, dehydration, etc. etc. The lots with "X" and "U" are causing the most problems. You need to detox your body from the aluminum that was in the vaccine. Please take special precautions if you had the above lot numbers (check with your doctor who administered).
Please read my posting on How to Detox from Gardasil on questions tab. This will help you. File a VAERS report immediately and call your doctor to let them know you are POSITIVE your illness is from the vaccine.
Several people are working on getting this off the market - but please write your congressman or senator to ask that they help. This is the only way to stop this! Also ... tell EVERYONE you know that this vaccine and others with aluminum are NOT safe!

To ilovesummer: I'm glad that you may be one of the lucky people that have had no side-effects....yet. You need to go to the medalerts.org website & do a Basic Search, using HPV4 in the Vaccine field and also indicate "yes" beside the Died? field and you will find that 33 deaths have been connected to this vaccine - are these families just looking for something to complain about? If you are looking to the CDC, FDA or Merck for whether or not this vaccine is safe, you are looking in the wrong place honey. Money & politics are a big driver in the pharmaceutical industry; go to
****** and search "how the pharmaceutical industry educates doctors". I couldn't figure out why the Regional Health Officer & doctors in my area were pushing this vaccine so aggressively so I researched as many different angles that I could think of until I finally found it: in the last couple of years, Merck donated about $143 million to our biggest university - would you look a gift horse like this in the mouth, and endanger losing a donation like that?? Look up Vioxx, also brought to us by Merck, courtesy of the FDA, which ended up killing approx. 40K people, and surprise, internal e-mails are now coming to light (at trial) that show that Merck knew about the cardiovascular dangers of the drug all along, but gee, for some reason they didn't share that info with the FDA or the medical community. It seems they are very selective about the info that gets released about their drugs/vaccines...hmm I wonder why...

Oh and by the way I have had the Gardasil shots and I have had NO side effects and I feel great!!! I think people are just looking for excuses to blame Gardasil!!

http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/vaers/gardasil.htm
go to this website to find out the TRUE facts about GARDASIL!!! The CDC is an official website for medical issues...If there is really any problems with this vaccine it would've HAD to be on here!!!

I received my 2nd shot on 3/27/09. On 3/31/09 i began having headaches, diarrhea, chest pains, back pains, and abdominal, pelvic pains. They have not ceased since. I have tried taking headache medication but the headache returns the next day. Including the terrible abdominal pains. My mother overheard about a 5th grader taking these shots and ending up dying from them. Her doctors could not find the source of her problems and convinced her family there was nothing wrong...her death was the result.

My daughter began having severe headaches and dizzy spells after her sequence of Gardasil shots in late 2007. We've had her to the family doctor, a neurologist, an ENT, and multiple Emergency Room visits. All the tests (CT Scans, MRI's, blood work) have come back normal. While we're thankful for that, we're left frustrated and scared.
I was assured by her pediatrician and our OB/GYN that this vaccine was completely safe. I am now beginning to have my doubts, and am scared to death of what may come next; or that she's going to suffer like this indefinitely.

loss of menstrual cycle one month after gardasil vaccine after having normal periods for 3 years.

loss of menstrual cycle one month after 1st shot where had been having normal periods for 3 years.

My 16 year old daughter got her first Gardasil shot on January 9th, 2009. Her doctor practically pushed this on us during a routine doctor visit. The dr told us it was safe and would protect my daughter from numerous things. She never once told us of any side effects and made me feel like if I didn't get her vaccinated, I was being a 'bad mom'.
Shortly after the first vaccine, we were in Walmart and my daughter started feeling like she was going to pass out. I thought it was because she hadn't eaten well that day so I bought her a candy bar and she ate it. (She's had several more of these episodes over the last few months.)
Then she started having severe leg pains that I thought were just 'growing pains'.
After the second shot on March 9th, 2009 she started having severe dizzy spells where she would run into things. Again I did not think anything of it other than maybe she hadn't eaten well that day. Then she started having numbness/pain/tingling in both legs and left arm. This is when I received an email about Gardasil that opened my eyes.

I started researching and found out about all these other girls that are having the same, if not worse, symptoms! I was in shock and disbelief.
That same day, Friday, March 20th, 2009, she had an attack that was so bad I had to take her to the ER. At the hospital, they ran blood tests and did a CT scan. All tests came back normal. The doctor there told me not to get the third shot because he said my daughter was having an allergic reaction to the vaccine.

Since Friday, March 20th, I have been researching nonstop. My daughter has been having new symptoms almost daily such as back pain, bladder pain, pain behind both kneecaps, severe weakness, tingling in both legs and left arm, left arm is very weak, nausea, weight loss, etc.

Friday night, she had an episode where her entire body was jerking uncontrollably and she was in pain with her legs and left arm. Her heart was racing so fast and she was having trouble breathing. (she constantly says she feels like she cant get a deep breath and that it hurts).
I was able to get her relaxed enough to go back to sleep.

On Monday, March 23rd, I called her doctor and told them what was going on. They told me to bring her right in. They also said that VARS had contacted them asking for my daughters' medical records. ( I had already reported to VARS before calling the doctor).

At the doctors office, I talked to her doctor about all of these cases and deaths that have been reported. She kept saying it was not the Gardasil. I asked her how she could be so sure, since this is such a NEW vaccine, nobody knows what to expect! She eventually started partially agreeing with me and examined my daughter. She called to get the reports from what the hospital had done and said she wanted to do more bloodwork. I had to take her back in to the dr's office the following day, Tuesday, for more blood to be drawn. They took 6 vials and said we wont have the results for about a week.

I am CERTAIN that my daughter is suffering because of the Gardasil shots!
She was a healthy, happy, vibrant, energetic 16 year old. Now she is tired all the time, weak, sick, and cant do her school work. She is very scared because of what we have found out from other girls.

I'm afraid for what is to come! Every day she seems to have a new symptom.

I found a great support group at ******
They have been a great help to me over these last few days. They have done their homework and are working very hard to get our government to do a thorough investigation into Merck and Gardasil before more of our beautiful daughters are harmed or killed.

I urge everyone to educate yourselves before you vaccinate with Gardasil!
If you want more information or if you want copies of the documents that we have found, including a Warning Letter that was sent from the FDA to Merck last year that found them in violation of NUMEROUS things, come to our ****** group.

23 years old, Had my 1st gardisal shot almost exactly 24 hours ago! Felt kinda weird all throughout the day, but dismissed it. Around 3 am I was awakened by an extremely upset stomach and severe diarrhea. I called my doctor office and spoke to a medical assistant and she stated that none of the doctors where in the office but if I could go to an emergency room to go to the er! I assumed from her response that I shouldn't be having these symptoms, but she didn't want to say that. I used my entire hour lunch to nap and almost fell when I tried to get up. My heart feels like it is going to jump out of my chest. Cramping in my stomach and I'm extremely scared to eat anything because the smell of food makes me lightheaded and. My best friend has had the shots and she said her's went okay so I agreed to go ahead and get the shot.....worst mistake !

My daughter got the gardasil shot ten months ago. She was a normal healthy beautiful active teen before the shot.She had been running about ten miles a day and within none DAYS of getting the shot ( the reaction started sooner) she was in ICU fighting for her life! She has chest pains, shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, stomach pains, insomnia, hairloss, voice changes, personality changes, auto immune issues, rashes, strange swelling, leg tremors, hand weakness, fatigue general malaise and I could go on and on. This was supposed to be her senior year, but she is so weak and missed so much school, she had to drop out. This has got to stop!

I received all three of the gardesal shots. The first three were painful, but about two weeks after my last shot I developed a golf ball size lump at the injection site. My entire upper arm has been tender to the touch, tingling and numb. I called the doctor who states that is must be something else. I am positive it is from the shot. I will be monitoring the swelling, and if the pain woresens, seek different medical attention. Has any one else experienced this problem??

I am 23 years old I had my first abnormal pap in November of 2006, I then had to get paps every 3 months, my paps got worse and as of December of 2007 I had a cone biopsy to remove part of my cervix, then I started the Gardasil shots. After the third shot my paps started coming back normal and I have not had an irregular one since. I think that every girl should have these shots, if not for the shot I could have ended up with cervical cancer!

On Dec 18, 2008 my 18 yrs old received her 3rd shot. No problems until then. She has had a skin rash for over 3 months now. They first said it was a virus, then pityriasis rosea, eczema, and after a skin bio the diagnosis includes an arthropod bite reaction and urticarial hypersensitivity reaction to a drug. For 3 months I've been asking if it might be the gardasil and they keep saying NO. She's had every type of cream, some costing $90 and now on predisone. They also thought it might be scabies. The rash has looked like several different kinds of rashes. But still she itches all the time and has had a more severe rash in her private areas. It seems like the rash is always changing. So far that's been the only problem, unlike some of what I've read. I'm only praying that nothing else happens. They also said that living in a dorm could have bugs and that's where the bite would come from. But she had been living in the dorm for 3 months, came home, received her 3rd shot and now we have been to the dr. several times a month trying to relieve her itching and rash.

Has anyone else had just the rash??

My daughter received her first shot on 6/20/2007 when she was 14 years old and second shot on 12/27/2007. During this time frame she complained of having headaches daily. On 1/8/2008 my daughter had a seizure. She had been a healthy, dancer and scholastic student. Since her shot she has had a total of 12 seizures and has been in and out of hospitals numerous times. She was diagnosed with epilepsy in March of 2008. She has been on Topamax, Keppra, Lamictal and Zonegran and continues to have seizures. The side effects from the medications that my daughter has suffered with along with depression has been tremendous.
We thought we were protecting our daughter and found that we have only hurt her. The doctors need to stop pushing the shot and it needs to be taken off the market. Because of this shot she has to be dependent on more drugs. She has missed so much school, which were important years (freshman & sophmore) that she will never get back. How many more girls need to suffer!

I am 20 and had all 3 of the shots. I was going into my freshman year of college, and in September became very sick. I refused a blood test because I hate needles. By November I could barely walk on my own. The hospitals kept giving me medicine for bacterial infection, but it just kept getting worse. My fever stayed at 103 before I went back to the ER. A blood test concluded I had mono. Just figured I got this from being a freshman partier. During this time I also had an abnormal pap smear for the first time. My mom did research and found other girls who had cases of mono after the 3rd shot too. Very, very rare. Now I have to go to the gyno every 6 months because they found pre-cancerous cells. I also failed my first semester of college because I was so sick. This is all thanks to the Gardisal shot. I do NOT recommend. It should be taken off the market now!

My 12 year old daughter completed the 3rd round of the Gardasil shot in late August of 2008. School started the next week. A couple of weeks later, she became ill and I rushed her several times to the doctor and to the emergency room only to have the doctor say she had a virus. After 2 weeks of horrible pain, nausea, and headaches, I took her to the emergency room at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. She was referred to a Gastroenterologist where she has been going ever since. The doctor has had her on pain medicine since December to help her cope. I analyzed all of her information and compared it to the 12,000 cases in the VAERS database and I am convinced that the shot made her sick. NO DOUBT! The database is located at http://www.medalerts.org/ and you can run the lot # of the dose given to you through the database to determine if their has been any adverse effects noted. The first dose that Lauren had was listed 78 times. Her second dose was listed 70 times. Her third dose was listed 74. I researched the ingredients contained in the shot and the one that I am concerned with is Aluminum. After researching the effects of aluminum poisoning, I believe that she has all of the signs. I begin treating my daughter at home with sublingual (dissolves under the tongue) Vitamin B12 and Vitamin C tablets available at the local drug store over the counter. My daughter has been sick for 7 months and has missed almost her entire Eighth Grade year. As you can see, since starting the vitamins, she has gone from being sick 97% to only being sick 28% of the time. This is a BIG improvement and this may help other young ladies who are affected. I don’t think it will help all, but as sick as these girls are, I don’t see how it could hurt. Her doctors at Wake Forest are aware of what I am doing and agree.

Month Sick Well
SEPT 93% 7%
OCT 97% 3%
NOV 83% 17%
DEC 87% 13%
JAN 71% 29%
FEB 43% 57%
MAR (WK 1-3) 28% 72%

My daughter has been referred to Duke Medical Center now and will go for her first appointment in about 1 month. The FDA and CDC need to pay attention to what is going on and pull this drug off the market. If you have been affected, please ensure that you report your reaction to the VAERS Database. Your doctor is required to report adverse effects, so demand that they do so.

I hope this helps, and if anyone tries the vitamins and it does help or if you would just like to ask me some questions about my daughters experience, email me at ****** and let me know. I will update the doctors at Wake Forest and Duke. Hopefully, if we band together, we can get to the bottom of this and figure out what to do help these vaccine injured girls.

My 14 year old daughter received her first Guardasil shot in May 2008 second in September and was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in November 2008. The diagnosis was questioned at my daughters Oncologist in conjunction with the shot. I never heard anything else after that. Luckily she is in remission after Chemo and many treatments

My 13 year old daughter had her third shot on 02/16/09. Her first two shots did not seem to be a problem. She said her arm hurt really badly after the shot, and the next day she complained of leg pains she hadn't had before. Within a few days, she had a high fever with body aches like the flu, except it wasn't the flu. She felt better, but a week later she still had a low grade fever. She was tested and had strep throat, and was treated with anti-biotics. A week later she started having stomach cramps and diarrhea. It's now March 18th and she still has diarrhea. I think it's criminal this vaccination is being given to our young women. How on earth could anyone think "possibly" preventing HPV and/or cervical cancer is worth the risk of what my daughter and so many others are having to go through?

My 16 old daughter took the Gardasil shots. Since then she has complained about being tired all the time. Stomach pains , loss of consciousness. She states she feel like an old woman. Has missed several days of school because it. Please help me warn others go to the
******and let people know this is the Bogalusa, La. Newspaper. I had the article wrote.

I'm here again. I need, if it's possible too, the name of a doctor or a hospital that can do a really treatment for these cases: convulsions, less of conscience,... Thank you from Spain

******

My cousin has suffered an adverse effect to the vaccine of the human papiloma. She suffers convulsions with loss of conscience and drowsiness. The doctors do not know that treatment to give. Always the crises return to appear. I want information about the treatments in these cases.

My daughter has been ill for the past two years. Please check out other postings by me on this site. Chelation Therapy will help - Gluten-free, Sugar-free. NO CORN SYRUP (alum. in it). Start eating fruits and fruit juices and greens. If the greens upset you stomach too much, back off until you have been gluten-free for a longer period. Take these vitamins and drink only distilled/bottled water. B6, B12, Omega 3, Folic Acid,
Magnesium, Calcium. These should start you on the way to recovery. If you see a doctor, please ask them to check niacin levels because I believe that there is a link with a niacin impairment issue. Please check more at ****** if you want additional information and also file a VAERS report immediately so they will get this vaccine off the market! I am not a medical person but have done tons of research. Please pass the word to EVERYONE you know!

My 13yr old niece has always been a healthy, active and straight A student. Then on 11/5/08 during a routine physical, she received her 1st dose of Gardasil. On 11/28/08 she started to complain that she felt weak and had a headache. Since it was 2 days after Thanksgiving we thought that she was tired from all the holiday activities. On 11/29/08 she had a headache and stayed in bed all day. She got up that afternoon & had 2 seizures. She was rushed to the ER.
As of today, March 8, 2009 she is still in the hospital in Intensive Care Unit. She has been in critical condition since. Within 2 days after her seizure, she lost the ability to eat,speak,walk and communicate in anyway. She is completely unresponsive. She is on the ventilator, she is basically in a coma. We do know she has an viral infection with a shadow on the left side of her brain. All of the testing that has been done all show negative for any illness or diseases.
We are still unsure if she will come out of this. This has been completely devastating to our family.
We have no answers from doctors. Even though we know in our hearts that this was a side effects from Gardasil. I don't know if they will ever fully admit it.
We are left to watch and wait. That is what the doctors tell us daily..

I received my first Gardasil shot back in September '08, and my second shot December '08. I was supposed to go back the 1st of this month to get the third but decided not to go. After the first shot my whole arm was so sore I could barely move it for about a week. I became extremely tired and run down, and began getting symptoms like I had the flu. These symptoms lasted for about two weeks after the shot, them seemed to somewhat go away. I figured my body was just not used to the medication so I went ahead with the second shot. This time the symptoms were worse. Again my arm was sore to the point of not being able to use it, and I was extremely tired. I remember going home from work that day and immediately going to bed at 5, no waking up until almost noon the next day. for the next couple of days i slept almost non stop until Monday when i had to get up for class. Since my second shot I have not had nearly as much energy as I used to, I am always tired and feeling like I need to take a nap even if I got over 8 hours of sleep. I feel like I am not all there, or as smart as I used to be for some reason. I'm not the same person I used to be. I wish I had never gotten the shots to begin with, I want all of my energy and my old life back.
